As you all know, the Internet is full of amazing things… here are some interesting titbits to keep your minds sharp!

Ramadaan is here…So Ramadaan Kareem!

Everyone will see it and appreciate it in their own ways. I love how being part of the Muslim Ummah means we participate in the same events, enriched with different traditions and cultural teachings. What are your traditions during Ramadaan??

Football is the Best Sport: I definitely, whole heartedly agree! Here, the argument is made for why it is the most “morally interesting” sport…

Being the fairest and unfairest of all games helps to make football the most morally interesting…

Higgs Boson… a new particle. It is pretty ground breaking stuff, via YMFY

MotoGP news: Honda delivers two different bikes in order to try solve this intriguing tire chatter issue. I love a meaty engineering design problem. Check out the GP mag in general for recent motorsport news…

This is definitely something I want to write about or mull on more – a study shows that over the past decade or so, womens’ expectations have risen in terms of career and family… They increasingly value both.

An interesting piece on the limitations of dichotomies. I feel as I am getting older and experiencing more, I am less and less sure that people can be black and white on issues, or that people can have a stance without even deigning to take into account the various other aspects. There aren’t two sides to every story… there are five, or ten, or hundreds…

If bullies aren’t “born” but are created through perverse motivation and circumstances, why continue to give the dichotomy credibility? Why are we willing, in the face of empirical evidence that the dichotomy is impoverished and wrong, to go about using it when setting anti-bullying policy?

My word of the week:

Quixotism (/kwɪkˈsɒtɪzəm/ or /kiːˈhoʊtɪzəm/) is impracticality in pursuit of ideals, especially those ideals manifested by rash, lofty and romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action.[1] It also serves to describe an idealism without regard to practicality. An impulsive person or act might be regarded as quixotic.

Quixotism is usually related to "over-idealism", meaning an idealism that doesn't take consequence or absurdity into account. It is also related to naïve romanticism and toutopianism.
